Open the Foot Care Business Launch Kit to see everything included — £22Starting a mobile foot care business in Cyprus? The trade itself is open to non-clinical practitioners, but the titles you can use are tightly protected. Here's what to know before you start working around Greater London.
What the rules say
General foot care carries no statutory minimum qualification -- the hard line sits around the titles "podiatrist" and "chiropodist", which only HCPC-registered practitioners may use. Insurers, care homes and most professional bodies will nonetheless expect recognised training before they'll work with you. As a sole trader, public liability insurance stays optional in law but is close to essential given how hands-on this work is.

Can I call myself a foot care practitioner in Cyprus without a qualification?
